When participating in the Sponsor Membership program through museumfoundation.org, users have specific rights regarding billing and refunds related to their membership subscriptions. This program offers exclusive access to events, exhibitions, and other benefits, creating a unique set of eligibility criteria for potential refunds.

Here are scenarios related to Sponsor Membership that may qualify for refunds:

• Membership Benefits Not Received: If a member believes they did not receive an expected benefit, such as exclusive event access or membership materials promised at sign-up, they might be eligible for a refund.
• Membership Cancellation During Billing Cycle: If a cancellation request was made in good faith before the end of a billing cycle, and the associated benefits were not utilized, a refund could apply based on the cancellation timing.
• Inappropriate Charges: If members notice discrepancies related to their account, such as charges for benefits they opted out of or were not made aware of during the signup process, they may inquire about eligibility for a refund.
• Special Promotions or Discounts: If a member signed up at a promotional rate but was charged a different amount unintentionally, they may be eligible for a refund for the difference if verified.

For specific inquiries, members are encouraged to reach out directly to Sponsor Membership support to discuss their individual circumstances and determine potential eligibility for refunds.
